Concreta 25, The Force of Images
Concreta 25 proposes itself as a space for reflection on images in their capacity to form relationships that can alter our regimes of visibility.

The issue is edited by Andrea Soto Calderón and features contributions by Marie-José Mondzain, Emmanuel Alloa, Catherine Malabou, Jacques Rancière, Alex Reynolds, Lúcia Prancha, Duen Neka'hen Sacchi, Laura Citarella, Hito Steyerl, Marie Bardet, Ana García Varas, Lucía C. Pino, Lucía Egaña Rojas, Rosângela Rennó and Jefferson García.
